Thanks for checking this and your request. Indeed I did not pursue this task to build Matplotlib Rel 2 from source, architecture s390x under the SuSE SLES 12 platform. By use of  Docker containers, I got the chance to build a data science oriented stack under Ubuntu 16, which delivers a pre-packaged version of Matplotlib 1.5.1 using the standard apt-get and automate the package install with a dockerfile, also integrating pandas and other tools. Even like that, I see a need to upgrade to the latest Matplotlib 2.0 versions as a demand for addressing new functions will arise. Will plan to build it in a separate virtual space. Case there is any enhancements available to fix the version function under SuSE, please let me know. "}}
